Mrs. the hotel is fine.

Not too shabby.

Overall, my experience was okay. My room had ants all over in the bathroom. My bed and pillows were lumpy. Yes, actually lumpy. The staff was nice. The hotel was located by many restaurants and had access to some major highways. One night there was a loud argument outside my hotel room that went on way too long. Yelling and screaming, yet no one intervened. Good part- easy to stay when by self. I wouldn't recommend the hotel to families unless in the summer when the pool is available

Dishonest owner, dirty room

Unfortunately our stay was unpleasant. Our door lock did not work the whole 3 days we were there. A request from the front desk each time to enter. They had someone working on it each day to no avail, prevailing the lack of privacy. The staff was nice, however could not communicate. The carpet was terribly stained. It just seemed the lack of cleanliness and customer care. We asked for some compensation for the inconvenience from the owner and the owner was deceptive in his offer and told me one thing and told my brother another, both of which were unreasonable. We will not be staying at this motel under this owner, Kautp Shuh, ever again.

Needs updating

Our room looked outdated and old. I was not impressed with anything about the room. First of all the safe in the room did not work. The next morning there were ants all over the tub. It was bad enough we didn't take a shower. When I adressed the safe and shower issues with the person at the front desk, they made it seem like it wasn't a big deal.

You get what you pay for.

The location is great for all the touristy things you may want to do in the LA area, its also close to shopping and restaurants. Its a little old and run down, but they do their best to maintain. Breakfast everyday was the same and very simple - not much more than I do at home so it was fine. I would say the could use new carpets and bedding, but al in all it was fine.

Great for the price!

No complaints about this place. It is nothing extra special but had just what we needed and was very cheap for such a nice area. Right off the freeway and close to lots of shops. Also, about 10-15 minutes from the beaches!
